Dates and Deadlines for International Students
If you are an international student and did not gain your higher education entrance certificate in Germany (i.e. do not have a German Abitur), you will have to apply via the International Office. This is the case for both degree-seeking and exchange students. Due to the different application procedure, there are different application deadlines. Find the dates and deadlines for degree-seeking students here and those for prospective exchange students here.
This page provides you with general information about semester dates, teaching and non-teaching periods, as well as the application deadlines for students with an Abitur.
